FLYFISHING.BG RECOMMENDSFor the smoothest possible Perdigon body, wrap Tommi-Fly UV Perdigon Thread Olive with consistent tension and minimal overlap. Finish the fly with a thin coat of UV resin and cure it using a UV torch. The result is a perfectly smooth, durable and fast-sinking body—the defining characteristic of an effective Perdigon nymph. |
